-Freelancers are reporting a string of missions to acquire paper documents rather than digital records. These seem to be largely quite mundane information as well, nothing corporate, nothing scientific, nothing of what anyone would consider real worth within the Zone. Enquiries have not led towards an identity for the hirers of these missions, but staff at all the various bars insist these missions are benign.\\
+Several factions and organised freelancer groups have carried out some quite public executions of what they are claiming were Government infiltrators. It isn't clear how they were identified, but it does seem to be a strange coincidence that several happened within a couple of weeks of each other.\\

-An unknown party has been claiming to have found the body of Malcolm Cartwell, one of the first truly legendary freelancers, who vanished in early 2026. Claims of Malcolm's death were disputed by a great many people and it was widely believed he had gone into hiding in pursuit of some great secret. The unknown party is said to be seeking aid in recovering the body, and they have given no details on how recently he would appear to have died.\\
+The Truthers in particular have been displaying a very uncharacteristic level of brutality, with two members being taken out of a base camp and nailed to nearby trees before being shot dead 24 hours later. A couple of Awakened watching over the Truther camp reported that both victims had wounds on their left forearms consistent with something being cut out of them.\\

-Freelancers are reporting at least six separate individuals asking after someone with a metal face who appears out of thin air. Suspicions are growing that this is a coordinated manhunt, which suggests government. It isn't clear what they want with this person but they are putting a significant amount of effort into finding them.\\
-\\
-A handful of people have reported suddenly finding themselves in a strange place, standing in a puddle of vomit. They can't explain how they got where they were, and when people have checked up on them they've seemingly lost anywhere from a few hours up to a couple of days of their life, with no memories from the time lost. Freelancers have been warned that a new narcotic may be responsible, and to be on guard for people selling spurious pills.\\
-\\
-The High Rollers may finally be on their way out. A series of failed business ventures have hit them hard, and while several individual members remain quite wealthy by Zone standards, the faction's pooled resources are reportedly all but depleted. These rumours are damaging recruitment, and the group may not function as a collective for much longer.\\

-Recent bounties posted for various types of soft drink in intact cans have all been traced back to one freelancer, a chap calling himself Buzzby. It isn't clear why he wants the cans, or why he is willing to commit so much money to them. A few people have tried to track him down, but cannot find him or anyone that knows him. All of the bars where bounties have been posted insist that the money is real and Buzzby has an account with the necessary funds to pay out. When pressed as to his whereabouts, description or affiliations, the bar staff have repeatedly stated they will not divulge client information. None of the four bounties have been claimed yet.

+A former corporate security officer turned freelancer has been telling tales of a band of freelancers that assaulted his employers and forced him to flee (hence his abrupt career change). He doesn't bear any particular ill will, business is business, but he is telling a curious tale about a red sky hitting them all mid-fight. The freelancers outside the buildings all collapsed, as would be expected, but when the red sky ended they all got up again. The tale has gotten a little outlandish in the re-telling, but the core fact remains. Someone has the means to survive the red sky. Tech like that is worth a fortune...\\
 \\
+Yet another in a long line of religious cults has flared up, but in this case it doesn't appear to be locals suddenly finding religion, rather a group of fanatics has made their way into the Zone and set themselves up here. Very few people have encountered them directly but those who have met them say they seem to be a pleasant enough bunch, and nowhere near as evangelical as others have been.\\
